Looking for a small watch with GPS, heart rate monitor, step tracker, and Bluetooth audio… any recommendations?

I’m looking for a small watch that can track my heart rate, steps, and also play audio via Bluetooth. The battery life should be as long as possible, but I know that can be hard with smaller watches.

Can you give me more details?

Sure. I need it for everyday wear to track my resting heart rate and steps. I also want to use it for running and hiking to see pace and distance. It’d be great to listen to music, podcasts, and audiobooks through Bluetooth while being active. I’d also like to get notifications from my phone. I don’t need maps or texting features. If possible, I’d like it to last for several days on a charge. I’m currently looking at Garmins, but it’s a bit overwhelming.

What’s your budget and what phone do you use?

I’d like to keep it under ~$600. I have an iPhone.

For full integration, this should give you great value. If you can stretch your budget, this is a much better option. Sorry I couldn’t find something better that fits your needs. Small form factors are really tough to get right.

Not sure why that happened, but I promise I’m not suggesting you buy a shoe :joy:

None of the ones I’d call ‘small/inconspicuous’ have GPS (though they can use the phone’s GPS). I’ve listed a few that aren’t too bulky here: reddit.com/r^(/)smartwatch/comments/199kgho. The Garmin Lily 2 Active has GPS, and while it’s not super thin, it’s not too big either.
